New mbr here, could use some help. HIGH IDLE

[Timmy_Jones]

Guys!! WOOHOOOO

After two weeks I found the issue! I bought some carb cleaner and sprayed the crap outta everything....nothing changed, just a strnge 'floating' idle.

I figured, what the hell, ill spray my EGR stuff too, well sure enough I sprayed where the EGR mates on top of the intake manifold....car stuttered!

I shut the car down, and notice that the bolt on the top is hand tightened...on top of that! the gasket was lying next to it, NOT INSTALLED. Keep in mind I had a great local mechanic who I would trust with anything do the install, he just forgot the gasket, oh well, shit happens and I cant be mad at him. I install gasket, crank down the EGR and start the car....humms like it used to, PRE long tubes...just beautiful. Sprayed with carb cleaner...nothing happened!

Thanks for the suggestions, i feel like I wasted 130 bucks on a MAF, but oh well at least she is running right. Wooho!!!
